Getting Ready for Christ/Christmas!

Even in the desert, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Some of the stores have had Christmas items on display even before Halloween. But the truth of the matter is there is actually something that should be a little more important on our “to do” list that getting ready for Christmas. What could be more important that Christmas? How about getting ready for Christ’s return? Just like a lot of people didn’t notice or just plain ignored the birth of Christ there should be concern today that we don’t miss out on the ways Christ comes to us daily and especially that we are ready for his glorious return. We are still going to sing familiar Christmas carols, put up lights and trees, but our next sermon series will look at four key words designed to prepare us for both Christ and Christmas.
